This Newbery medal-winner is full of life lessons about appreciating all that glitters in life, or the "kira-kira." Katie and her family endure many hardships when they move to rural Georgia. Her parents endure grueling conditions at work, and when Katie's sister Lynn develops lymphoma, they can barely afford to pay for treatments. Can Katie appreciate the "kira-kira" that Lynn taught her about despite their awful situation?
